It depends on the literacy level of your population.  Side by Side has 
many complex tasks, such as changing several words at once in a dialog, 
that our low literacy level students can't handle. For them we use 
Crossroads, a slow-paced series from Oxford.  Side by Side works great 
for more literate classes.
